Re: st: Temporary fix for insufficient disk space

[Christian Holz <statalist@krueschan.de>]

Sergio,
changing the STATATMP windows environment variable from WITHIN Stata 
would not bring the wanted effect as it would only be valid for the the 
duration of the -shell- command to set it (i.e. a few ms)
What's been asked for was how to start the batch to launch Stata FROM 
the desktop, which is really just a double click, so I assume, that 
can't be the issue here,
Christian
